The ULTIMATE Dream Box DUPE! DIY VisionBox for UNDER $500

[@dody-janesvetahor8424]

You guys did an amazing job! Please consider creating a plan pdf that you can sell. Good job

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

That is something to really consider. I appreciate your comment.

[@aphroditequeen5128]

I agree!! I'd pay a pdf or even subscribe to get the pdf!!

[@nikilachae1064]

I agree! A pdf would be so great! This looks amazing! And the best part is that you got to customize to what you needed.

[@jacquelinejaubert8395]

@@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty I was thinking the same thing!!! I’d pay for a PDF of this brilliant plan!

I would definitely buy a PDF directional file! This is ingenious!

[@klmcmaster1]

I just wanted to say I found this because I couldn’t afford a dream box. Thankyou so much!

[@happilyletterafter168]

This is truly a God send! I've been wanting a Dream Box for a VERY long time, but it's just WAY too expensive! I've tried winning it in EVERY contest they have EVERY year with no luck. This may be the answer to my prayers!!! Thank you so much for sharing this, I will see if my husband can help me make this!

[@robertascholten8173]

Well done, Sir, very well done. How resourceful, how clever you and your wife are. Lots of hard, hard work. Some trial and error. And persistence and determination and Viola!! Your "vision box" is an excellent dupe of the very expensive Dream Box. VERY impressive!!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

Thanks for your comment. This idea saved us $1,000’s. Hopefully this review can save other people money too.

[@ajustwoods]

What a great job! I'm seeing this two years later and it's still awesome!

[@craftingmamaberne3776]

OMGOSH this is the best dupe of the the dream box I’ve ever seen. 😍 you’ve fully pimped it out. It’s absolutely amazing 😍

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

Thank you so much. It feels great to see our hard work appreciated.

[@krisoberhauserbishop7552]

Well done. We built our house too so I have the tools. We have gables and I need to figure out making something like this adapted for a sloping ceiling.

[@DalisDemon]

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!! I've seen a few and they were just...meh.... not 'It' ya know? I lost my shit when opened this one. Negl I was yelling and jumping up and down, shoving my phone in my old man's face to show him that it's almost EXACTLY the same. 😅

[@theonlyriotstarter]

I love how your husband filmed for you! He nailed it!!!

[@luzhernaez4660]

Your husband did awesome job. In my opinion he got it right down to the exact. You are so lucky to have someone support your ideas and help you get it done. Continued success on your channel.

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

Mistakes were made in the process but I’m glad that we figured them out and showed them so that others who build their own craft closets have a easier time. My husband help so that all my stuff won’t be in his space so it worked out for both of us. Thanks for your comment.

[@thejurydoctor6097]

I think it’s better! Great job you guys, subbed ❤

[@FaceFabLLC]

I really don’t understand why this doesn’t have more views🤷🏽‍♀️. Wonderful work & pray your wife is recovering well!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I appreciate you saying that. I’m assuming because this video is only 2 months old and the vast majority of videos like this were posted a year or two ago, it takes time for mines to catch up. I’m still loving the feedback and feel glad to inspire creatives to build their own version of the dreambox. Thanks for your comment.

[@FaceFabLLC]

@@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty Absolutely & the BEST of health to you - thank you for taking the time out to reply. :)

[@Moonguided]

I absolutely LOVE the improvements you've made!! Especially for the screw on legs and the improved casters! This is an absolute lifesaver for those of us that don't have 3k to drop but still deserve a really great storage solution for hobbies. This improves a lot on the original design too! This is absolutely genius and is gonna help so many hobbyists and crafters. Thank you and your wife SO MUCH for this!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I appreciate your comment. My hope is that this craft closet or any version of it will help people get organized, start creating and don’t need a ton of money to do it.

[@susanhoagland5410]

Genius. I love this!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

This is absolutely brilliant! I'm totally blown away at how close this dupe is to the Dream Box, but customized for the size of your space and your needs! I just sat here watching this video with my mouth open in amazement LOL! You and your husband did a fantastic job with this Vision Box.

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I appreciate your comment. My husband was also impressed as we were building it! All I had to go by was pictures of the dream box and watched videos of how it opened and closed. We went to work with my vision and these are the results. Thanks for watching.

[@lisasweat3728]

Wow! What a beautiful, beautiful vision box. May I say stop calling it a dupe DreamBox because it’s a beautiful vision box that you guys created. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@melissamitchell7347]

Genius feature having the seated extension for the table.

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I had extra wood from cutting the shelves to make the table and decided that would be the best use. Glad you like my idea.

I love that you showed what you tried and how you revised that later and why. Every project evolves. The variable height table is very impressive and I like the screw off legs (Ikea does that hardware so well).

[@Destyn2b]

This is the best video on KZbin! I have been trying to find an alternative to the Dream Box for years. Since they changed, the size they have won't fit in my space. This option is more cost effective anyway. Thanks for the great detailed information!

[@aportgirl]

Holy Moly what a fabulous job.

GOAT. Greatest Of All Times!!! Designed/Builders/customized/ husband of the year!!!!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

Appreciate your kind words.

[@kimberlyshaw7469]

First of all I am sending prayers for your continued and speedy recovery. I can somewhat empathize with you darlin' because 2+- years ago I had to have 4 urgent surgeries 2 of them in the same day 1 right after the other and all of them in less than a 2 week time period, all abdominal. Not the best time I've ever had for sure but now that I've healed up completely I can't believe how much better I feel and you will too for sure. Now I wanted to tell you what a fabulous job your husband did describing what materials you two used and also explaining the process of building it. I personally think if I follow the video starting and stopping it as I go along and of course with one or both of my grown sons for their strength and extra pair of hands I could absolutely build this Vision Box. Lastly I have to tell you this was the first time I had come across one of your video tutorials and between the honest and very loving way your husband was talking up your talents which in turn made me want to watch a few more of your videos and I immediately had to subscribe to your channel and now I am truly looking forward to your return so I can enjoy many more of your tutorials in the future. You must truly be a very lovely couple. God Bless and keep you. Thank you for that cabinet tutorial. Kimberly

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I really appreciate your comment. Recovery has been tough but with the support of my husband and family, I’m getting though all the Doctor appointments and physical therapy. The Vision Box has been a project of mines for the past 2 years. The more pictures and videos I seen of the Dream Box, the more I figured out that I can build my own version. The price was the main motivating factor and I had allot of the IKEA furniture already. I’m so glad that it turned out how it did and my husband was able to present it for me. I didn’t expect the overwhelming positive feedback and people actually wanted to buy one of these 🤯 The best thing about building one of these is that it’s totally customizable to fit your needs. I hope if your able to build one that it comes out just as amazing! Thanks for watching.

[@waleskanieves6095]

You're such an amazing husband. It's so rare to find a husband that help you realize things like this n also that you did the video while she recovers, says a lot from you! God bless your relationship! Now about the job, I have no words! Lol Amazing!! 👏👏

This looks like something I can do with a bit of help from my husband and my dad!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I don’t have any written directions, it’s just more of visually putting everything together. Allot of trial and error when it came to the crown, inserts, casters and extended doors. My husband tried his best to explain the vision box but I change stuff all the time. Hopefully we can do some updates with easy to follow instructions on creations in the future. Thanks for your comment 💖

[@joannbarnes4224]

This is amazing. This would fit in my small space I have. Tell your husband he did an excellent job. I can't get a Dream Box because they can't deliver it to my house. Plus I have watched so many videos of people explaining the pros and cons of a Dream Box. More cons than pros. I will be making a visit to Ikea soon. Thank you for sharing. Hope you feel better soon.

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

@@joannbarnes4224 I’m assuming diy dreambox are becoming popular because IKEA raised prices on their Billy’s and Pax systems. In fact, the Pax closets are not even in stock at any of my local IKEA’s. So keep that in mind when you building your craft closet. Thanks for watching.

[@jenniferbolea1612]

I don’t think I have ever left a comment on a KZbin video but this is just so so impressive! I have drooled over the dream box for years but just can’t stomach the price. I have done customization to IKEA shelving and closets in the past and though the process was frustrating and more time consuming than anticipated, I did end up being very proud of the end result. I would like to do a variation of your epic creation in the near future. Just hope I don’t get overwhelmed and give up. You have the patience of a saint! How many hours would you say you put into this?

[@nataliawalker4184]

A detailed video or instructions including list of items (at least to make the frame, doors and shelves) would be really helpful! Thanks

100% on whoever said to create a plan PDF with all the items and how it was done. I feel like I could never really afford to get the official one though it's a huge wishlist item for me. This makes it something attainable for the average person!

I came into a little bit of money a while ago and bought a DreamBox and it's amazing! Before that though, I stared at it for a looong time and would look into how to do it for cheaper. I figured it could be duped with Ikea furniture and some creativity but yeah, you guys really captured the essence of the DreamBox better than anyone else doing dupes out there I've seen. Those people did decent jobs too, but you guys really seemed to get it. I think people are paying for the convenience of having everything come to your door with very little building required because we all just want to get right into the organizing, so good on you guys for taking the time to show us with a little effort and patience, it can be done. Way to knock it out of the park! Amazing video! 👏 💖 Thank you!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I wanted to purchase a dreambox about 2 years ago. Besides the price, one major problem is that I live in an apartment building and logistically it couldn’t be delivered to me. So I started looking into how the dreambox is made. Since I’m an avid IKEA shopper, I figured it can be duped using some of their bookshelves and closet systems. We started the build about a year ago and to my surprise it came out better than expected. My husband and I started to film the process so one day we could show how our version came out. The goal was to try and replicate the dreambox as close as possible on a affordable budget. It feels great when dreambox owners like yourself appreciate my work. It took about 6 months to complete the visionbox and cost around $1,000 for all the supplies and materials. I completely understand the convenience of purchasing a dreambox so you can just get to crafting. If they come out with different size variations at more affordable price points and delivery options for people that don’t have driveways, I think more people would purchase the dreambox instead of creating diy versions. Thanks for your comment.

[@emilysragz]

@@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty oh wow! It took that long to make? Well, quality takes time and effort. I live in a condo in Toronto Canada and couldn't easily bring the DreamBox inside. They didn't have an option (at the time that I purchased it) to buy it pre-assembled so we took in the pieces bit by bit from outside (luckily I bought it in May and it was nice weather) and had to destroy the wood crate it came in because there was no way I could use it for anything else. Assembling it in our tiny condo was rough as the pieces were everywhere, and some pieces were broken on arrival so we had to wait to get new pieces sent before we finished, which luckily didn't take too long. I too know the pain of a small place. I talk about my DreamBox and some of the bonuses and weaknesses of my personal journey with it on my channel. I believe the company used to have smaller versions of their product but maybe not enough people were buying their other ones? I'm not sure why they got rid of those models myself. Anyway, again, you did an amazing job! Now you know how to make one and could make others for storing other things in the future. Very awesome! Thank you for responding and filling me in on more details on your journey. This was such a great video to watch!

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

@@emilysragz I remember watching your review about a year ago once you said your from Canada. I was looking into the pros and cons of buying a dreambox and your video along with many others is the reason I why decided to go the DIY route. By the way, I have family in Toronto and visited there a few years ago. Lovely place! It actually took a few days to build the visionbox but about 6 months to perfect it. Had to change the casters and parts of the frame because things would break. Plus I keep updating it by adding and changing things. I have plans to build my brother a visionbox but with IKEA’s pax system in the near future. Hopefully we can film that to show another version. Thanks for your response 😁💖

[@emilysragz]

@@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty oh wow! No way! You watched it? LOL! That's so funny! I also watched a lot of videos on DreamBox before and after getting one. I always want to see if anyone has new organizing ideas. Everyone sets theirs up differently. That's so cool that you have family here too! Very nice! I can't wait to see the one you do for your brother. That sounds like a fun video! Keep them coming! 💖

[@AnnetteWalkerVisionaryBeauty]

I was asked about the table and wish we filmed how we made it in detail. It’s difficult to recreate being that it is custom made. Depending on the size frame used determines the width and depth of the table. If I make another visionbox in the future then I will film how to make the table. Thanks for watching.
